ORIGINAL: bottle man

Hi Longhunter thanks for the info. I found it on someones website and it lists the Hetherington as very scarce to rare. So I am very confused on this one. I think I may just list it on the bay tonite and see what happens. Thanks again, Kevin
Kevin do a search here with the word Hetherington and you'll see a number of posts, I believe the scarce ones are the ones embossed "42nd Street N.Y. under the Hetherington...Jim

Actually, the Hetheringon of this size and color is rated a 4 on the scale, placing it in the Rare category. For exact price, I cant tell you as we haven't gotten into these yet. But the scale for this rarity is $355 - $800 (newly revised). But again, these are historical highs for this rarity of bottle. Today's actuals will probably be less. For a narrower range, Jerry would have to chime in as he would have a better feel for this one. Congratz on the find. She's a winner.

Thanks for all the replies. I just put it on the bay with a starting price of 9.99 and just for fun put a buy it now for $350.00 and it sold right away. Thanks again, Kevin

thanks Poison-Us, I have found 4 nice poisons in the last 2 years and for next to no money paid for them.I have been very lucky finding good bottles cheap but nothing that I collect.I sold the Hetherington because I dont collect poisons and I was hoping to do a nice trade for the skull one day. I may put the KR-14 and the Ortenburg and flinn up for sale as well.Thanks for all the replies, you guys are so spot on with your Info,this is by far the best site. Thanks Kevin
